The Monomad Challenge - "Tikar, a Borneo Traditional Mat" - | B&W Photography
Hello there my Hiveans amigos! ^_^ glad to see you guys again on Black and White Community...
On this beautiful day, for the monomad challenge, I would like to share to you guys about something new in my Black and White photography. It's about a traditional craft or local product of West Borneo named "Tikar" or in English means Mat.
The basic material used in the manufacture of this traditional mat is Ronsa plant, which is a plant that has a relatively long stem that ranges from 1 to 2 meters and has a hollow texture.
Before use, the ronsa plant that has been taken from the forest, must be dried in the sun to dry, and kept straight so that it is easy to weave.
The process of making this traditional mat really only uses hand skills, without using any tools at all, but look at the results, how neat and nice this mat is. ^_^
This mat is a cultural heritage of the Borneo Dayak tribe that has existed for hundreds of years, and has been passed down from generation to generation to this day. And this mat is commonly used by local people as a seat or as a base for drying rice... ^_^

See you on the next challenge and having a good day everyone~

Lovely shots, how long does it take for one to be made?
Thanks for stopping by my friend... ^_^
Hmm, it really depends on the weaving skill. But overall, the process of making one mat takes about one hour for a small size, and they can produce 3 to 4 mats in a day for a large size...
Hei, thank you so much for curated my post again @ewkaw and @qurator team ^_^ I really appreciated it~
